Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method and means of providing stromal repair and improved refractive correction. The invention discloses a technique for creating corneal stromal collagen tissue with fibril diameter and spacing that duplicates the optical transmission and diffusion characteristics of natural corneal collagen. Repair method includes implanting the collagen scaffold during LASIK or other inter-lamellar surgery to improve visual acuity or to preclude the possibility of ectasia.
